Five trains wind through the moors daily from Middlesbrough, taking 90 min via Nunthorpe, Great Ayton, Castleton Moor and Grosmont. Some start from Newcastle or Carlisle. There's a staffed ticket office and machines; no toilets or waiting room. There is step-free access to both platforms.
Coastliner 840 runs twice a day from Malton, taking 80 min via Pickering and Goathland. From Leeds or York take the hourly 843 heading for Scarborough, and change at Malton. Arriva Bus X93 / X94 runs every 30 min along the coast from Scarborough, taking one hour to Whitby. The X94 continues inland via Guisborough to Middlesbrough.
From Scarborough and East Yorkshire, follow A171 along the coast. From Teesside and the North East, either take A171 or the slower coastal A174. The roads to Whitby across the moors are scenic, but have sharp bends and steep gradients. In winter they are treacherous and may be closed. One popular route from the south is A64 past York to Malton then A169 north through Pickering and over the North York Moors.
